Daily physical activity is part of a child's foundation for a long, healthy life. The Yard has been helping children adopt proper active lifestyles, fitness regimens, and conditioning for over a decade. An early start has been shown to have a tremendous impact on their physical, intellectual and emotional development.

To help you start your child or young children in your care on the path to a healthy, active lifestyle, The Yard is pleased to bring you some simple strategies for physical activities that your child can participate in to create the foundation for lifelong healthy behaviors. This page presents The Yard's physical activities and offerings for children and young adults.

Getting involved in a child's physical activity routine early in life will demonstrate your caring and help foster an enjoyable, happy relationship with your child. As adults, we have a responsibility to be role models for our children — to share with them the knowledge and benefits of a physically active lifestyle as well as healthy eating and nutritional habits.

We congratulate you on your desire to help the children in your life adopt healthy habits at an early age and wish you the best in your efforts to help young children learn and adopt health and fitness habits to last a lifetime.
